ZeroTrace HID & Dongle

Installation

Power on, pair over Bluetooth LE and activate your ZeroTrace HID device.

Installation

ZeroTrace HID devices ship pre-flashed and ready. Setup means powering the device, pairing it with the app over Bluetooth LE, and activating your license, before you run your first payload.

  1. Power the device

    Plug the Dongle straight into a USB-A port, or connect the full board by its USB cable. It powers up from the USB port and its RGB status light shows its state.

  2. Install the ZeroTrace app

    Install the ZeroTrace mobile app. The device is controlled over Bluetooth LE, there is no web page and no pairing PIN.

  3. Pair over Bluetooth LE

    Open the app and scan. The device appears under its friendly name; select it to connect. The app recognises the HID firmware automatically and opens the payload editor.

  4. Activate your license

    Some features are unlocked by an active license tied to your device. Scan your license QR code in the app; the device stores and checks it, then unlocks the licensed features. See Licensing.

It starts as a keyboard the moment it is plugged in

By default the device brings up its USB keyboard/mouse/gamepad as soon as it has power. If you would rather it stay silent until you say so, you can have it not start typing at boot and bring HID up later from a payload, see Flow & device control. Until you upload a payload, the device does nothing to the host on its own.
